[Verse 1]

Watery eyes fall like a landslide

You're not here tonight

Right when I need you

There's nowhere to hide

Nowhere to lay my head

Run myself dry

I'm lonely, but I don't wanna be

[Pre-Chorus]

The boyfriend who's needy

That counts up to three

Snaps, and you see me

It's not what it seems

I'm just alone in the city of dreams

And want you to be here

[Chorus]

It's 5 o'clock somewhere right now

I hate that we're not hanging out

Chasing a feeling, fighting off sleep

And the taste of your lips on my mouth

My little parallel line

We're likе two passing ships in the night

The world keeps on turning

What you desеrve is a lover to love you on time

[Verse 2]

It's not easy to find comfort in things that I don't recognize

Telling the truth, but I'm caught in a lie

Called up, no answer, don't need a reply

Just lonely and fired up

[Pre-Chorus]

It's not on your back, it lives over mine

So don't overreact, darling, I'm fine

And I mean it, can't you see it?

[Chorus]

It's 5 o'clock somewhere right now

I hate that we're not hanging out

Chasing a feeling, fighting off sleep

And the taste of your lips on my mouth

My little parallel line

We're like two passing ships in the night

The world keeps on turning

But what you deserve is a lover to love you on time

[Bridge]

Yeah

So I'm gonna love you on time

Yeah, yeah

I'm gonna love you on time

Yeah

Yeah, I'm gonna love you on time, yeah

Ooh

I'm gonna love you on time

[Chorus]

It's 5 o'clock somewhere right now

I hate that we're not hanging out

Chasing a feeling, fighting off sleep

And the taste of your lips on my mouth

My little parallel line

We're like two passing ships in the night

The world keeps on turning

But what you deserve is a lover to love you on time
